Malcolm Gladwell famously shed light on the role of ‘connectors’ in his best selling book The Tipping Point. He regarded connectors as, obviously, people who know a lot of people, but more importantly, people who can connect different worlds and spot things in one world that can be applied in another.
Or as Gladwell himself said, "connectors are people who link us up with the world. People with a special gift for bringing the world together."
